bonzi pooh-bah Registered: 13/09/1999 Posts: 2401 Loc: Croatia	... but now there's a study to back that: From BoingBoing, Cory Doctorow's weblog: Koleman Strumpf, a conservative, Cato-affiliated economist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, has just co-authored a paper on the effects of file-sharing on album sales, based on the first-ever empirical data analysis in the field. [....] Even in the most pessimistic specification, five thousand downloads are needed to displace a single album sale...high selling albums actually benefit from file sharing. _________________________ Dragi "Bonzi" Raos Q#5196 MkII #080000376, 18GB green MkIIa #040103247, 60GB blue

And Bitt, if it makes you fell better I think the study was done in cooperation with Harvard TechTV reported on this last night. Edited by DiGNAN17 (31/03/2004 09:44) _________________________ Matt

bonzi pooh-bah Registered: 13/09/1999 Posts: 2401 Loc: Croatia	a conservative ... at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill invokes quite a bit of cognitive dissonance. I wouldn't know about that. All I know about US university politics was gathered from sources like The Strawberry Statement or Zabriskie Point, which cannot be accused of being recent, complete, unbiased or generally relevant. _________________________ Dragi "Bonzi" Raos Q#5196 MkII #080000376, 18GB green MkIIa #040103247, 60GB blue

It's mostly known as a liberal arts school, and it's full of artsy-fartsy types. The idea of a conservative economist there just doesn't jibe with the image of the school. It's not really politics so much as image. _________________________ Bitt Faulk
